Arseny Alexeev

I am a seasoned technical leader skilled in creating novel optical and electronic devices through DeepTech innovations. Leveraging >20 years of academic and industrial research, I can deliver critical technology shifts to enable competitive advantage for the business. Most recently, for WaveOptics who were acquired for >$500M by Snapchat. Business Skills: > Experienced in creating innovation eco-systems and using them to deliver technology toolkits. I established several fabless, in-house, and hybrid eco-system with the state-of-the art capabilities for nanofabrication. > I am passionate about bringing structure into the naturally chaotic R&D activities. I can design and implement hybrid Agile-Waterfall models which improve research efficiency and reduce innovation lead time. > I can create focused roadmaps by employing “product development through technology innovation” approach. In this approach, I use deep understanding of the product enabling technology to identify and execute the Pareto’s 20% of the technology change which results in the 80% of the product improvement. > Experienced in setting product development cycles, designing and implementing development workflows, setting quality standards, and running all operations to deliver new products. Technical Skills: >Domain Knowledge: Displays, Augmented Reality, Semiconductors, Optical Waveguides, Micro LEDs, Photonic Memories, Spatial Light Modulators, Resistive Switching Memories, Flexible Electronics, Chemical Sensors, Nano Fabrication, Optical and Electronic Materials, Polymers, Metamaterials, Nano Characterization. > Tools and Techniques: RCWA, FEM, FDTD, Ray Tracers, CVD, PVD, ALD, RTA, EBL, DLR, DUV, EUV, NIL, IBM, RIE, ICP, IBE, Wet Etch, Stylus and Optical Profilometry, Diffractometry, Spectrophotometry, Interferometry, Ellipsometry, AFM, SEM, FIB, TEM, EDX, XRD, FTIR, NanoIR, Raman, Tensiometry, Rheology, DLS, TGA-TMA, GS-MS. >Process Engineering: Agile and Waterfall project management, Scrum, Kanban, Scrumban, Design for Manufacturing, Roadmapping of Technology and Products, Quality Processes and Standards.
